In an incident that shocks the conscience of society, a 21-year-old man has raped his sister and impregnated her. The victim is a child as per law; she is just 16.

On Saturday, the victim complained of sickness. Her father, who is busy most of the time, took her to a government hospital. After performing preliminary tests, the doctor there confirmed that the girl is two months pregnant.

Upon being asked about her ordeal, the victim revealed to her father that her own brother had sexually assaulted her in August.

The hospital registered a police complaint immediately after coming to know of the sexual crime. The police have arrested the girl's brother and will try him under the POCSO Act.
